Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn later years, Lucille Ball was vocal about hating the experience of shooting "The Dark Corner". The lion's share of her resentment was pointed at director Henry Hathaway, whose bullying reduced Ball to stuttering on set, at which point Hathaway accused her of being inebriated.
- GoofsWhen private investigator Bradford Galt strong-arms Fred Foss to reveal his home phone number, Foss replies, "CHelsea 4-43510." In the Manhattan phone book for 1946, they only had the CHelsea 2 and CHelsea 3 exchanges. This may be an early version of the 555 prefix which is the convention for fictional phone numbers.

Featured review
Worth watching several times. Great b/w photography and the music is always playing on a radio or being plonked out by a child learning the piano--I mean the characters aren't followed around by an invisible orchestra. Love the office under the elevated railway. Some good lines too. As Galt's coffee cup falls from his trembling fingers he says something like 'I'm a tower of strength with nerves of steel!' xxxxxxxxx
